Last Updated: 10 October, 2024

Welcome to our adult classified ads website (the “Website”). These Advertising Guidelines provide a framework for creating and submitting ads that comply with Australian laws, as well as our community standards. Adhering to these guidelines helps to maintain a respectful, legal, and safe platform for all users.

By posting ads on our Website, you agree to comply with these Advertising Guidelines, along with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Any ads that violate these guidelines may be removed without notice, and accounts may be suspended or terminated.

1. Eligibility to Advertise

     1. Age Requirement: All advertisers must be at least 18 years old. Ads must not depict or imply the involvement of anyone under the age of 18.

     2. Legal Compliance: All ads must comply with Australian laws, including local, state, and federal regulations, particularly those relating to sex work, adult services, and advertising standards.

2. Content Guidelines

     1. Accuracy and Honesty: Ads must provide accurate information about the services being offered. Misleading or deceptive ads are strictly prohibited under the Australian Consumer Law.

     2. Prohibited Content: Ads must not contain any content that is:

          ● Illegal under Australian law (including the offering of illegal services).

          ● Misleading, fraudulent, or designed to deceive.

          ● Promoting violence, harassment, discrimination, or hate speech.

          ● Depicting non-consensual or exploitative acts.

          ● Involving or implying minors, even in a fictional or suggestive context.

     3. Nudity and Explicit Imagery:

          ● Nudity and sexually explicit imagery may be permitted but must comply with the National Classification Scheme.

          ● Images that depict violence, abuse, non-consensual acts, or extreme fetishes are prohibited.

          ● Ensure that all individuals depicted in ads have consented to the use of their images and are over 18 years of age.

     4. Copyrighted Material: Advertisers must have the rights or permissions to use any copyrighted material (images, videos, text) posted in their ads. Unauthorized use of copyrighted material is prohibited.

3. Services Advertised

     1. Legality of Services: All services offered in ads must be legal under Australian law. The offering of illegal services, including but not limited to those involving drugs, weapons, human trafficking, or exploitation, is strictly prohibited.

     2. Sex Work Ads:

          ● Ads for sex work or adult services must comply with relevant state or territory laws.

          ● For example, in states such as Queensland, ads for sexual services are subject to additional restrictions on content and wording, and specific services may not be advertised publicly.

     3. Escort Services: Ads for escort services must be clear about the nature of the service provided. Offering or implying illegal services (e.g., sexual acts that violate state laws) is not allowed.

4. Language and Tone

     1. Respectful Language: Ads must be written in a respectful tone. Profanity, abusive language, or sexually explicit terms that violate community standards may result in ad removal.

     2. No Discrimination: Ads that promote discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, or any other characteristic are strictly prohibited.

5. Image and Video Guidelines

     1. Image Quality: All images must be of high quality and must not be pixelated, blurred, or poorly edited.

     2. Content Restrictions:

          ● No images depicting violence, bondage, abuse, or any form of coercion.

          ● Images must comply with Australia’s classification laws regarding adult content and nudity.

          ● No images of children or individuals appearing to be under 18, even in non-sexual contexts.

6. Ad Review Process

     1. Pre-Moderation: All ads are subject to review before being posted on the Website. This review ensures that the ad complies with our guidelines and Australian law.

     2. Editing or Removal of Ads: We reserve the right to edit or remove ads that violate these guidelines or that are reported by users. In cases of repeated violations, your account may be suspended or terminated.

     3. Appeal Process: If your ad is removed and you believe it was done in error, you may contact our support team to appeal the decision. However, we reserve the right to make final decisions on ad content.

7. Prohibited Ad Practices

     1. Spam or Duplicate Ads: Posting the same ad multiple times, or creating multiple accounts to post similar ads, is considered spam and is prohibited.

     2. False Representation: Ads must not impersonate another individual or business. You must be the rightful owner or authorized representative of the services offered.

     3. Third-Party Ads: Ads for third-party websites, services, or individuals without authorization are not allowed. Each ad must represent a legitimate and direct offer from the advertiser.

8. Compliance with State-Specific Laws

     State Restrictions: Sex work laws differ across Australian states and territories. Advertisers are responsible for ensuring that their ads comply with the laws of their specific location. For example:

          ● Queensland: Strict rules govern how escort services may be advertised.

          ● New South Wales: Escort services are legal but must be advertised in accordance with state regulations.

          ● Victoria: Decriminalization of sex work has its own advertising standards.

     2. Licensing Requirements: If local laws require licensing for sex work or adult services, you must include your license number in the ad where required by law.

9. Consequences of Non-Compliance

     1. Ad Removal: Ads that violate these Advertising Guidelines or Australian law will be removed without notice. In cases of serious or repeated violations, your account may be suspended or terminated.

     2. Reporting Violations: We encourage users to report any ads that they believe violate these guidelines. Reports will be reviewed, and appropriate action will be taken.
